Prepping isn’t cheap—gear, tools, and supplies can add up fast. But what if your hobbies could pay for themselves? In this episode, I dive into how you can turn what you already love doing into something that funds itself—and maybe even puts a little extra cash in your pocket.

In this episode, Todd delivers a message about the critical error many believers in the preparedness community often overlook - failing to exercise proper discernment.
Drawing from the biblical story of Jacob and Laban in Genesis 30, Todd illustrates how even in ancient times, a lack of awareness about one's surroundings and circumstances led to costly outcomes.
The episode weaves together scriptural wisdom with practical preparedness advice, challenging listeners to engage with both their faith and the realities of our complex world.

This Christian Prepper devotional explores how even biblical figures like Jacob allowed situations to spiral out of control, drawing powerful parallels between spiritual vigilance and practical preparedness. Using the turbulent story of Jacob's marriages to Leah and Rachel as a foundation, the message emphasizes that while faith is essential, God also expects us to take deliberate action and remain attentive to potential problems in our lives before they escalate beyond management.
The teaching strikes a perfect balance between spiritual insight and practical wisdom, reminding listeners that the same principles apply to both our faith journey and our preparedness efforts.
This timely message encourages Christians to be proactive stewards of both their spiritual lives and physical resources, keeping in step with the Holy Spirit while remaining ready for whatever emergencies may arise.
